Produktbeschreibung

Building upon previous and parallel initiatives in scholar-activism and along the tradition of 'a critical dialogue' among activists and academics, this book identifies four key themes that focus on the difficult contradictions, dilemmas and challenges confronting future research in the area of food sovereignty: (i) dynamics within and between social groups and classes, (ii) flex crops and commodities, market insertion and long-distance trade, (iii) territorial restructuring, land and food sovereignty, and (iv) localization problematique. It aims to deepen academic discussions on food sovereignty. This book was originally published as a special issue of Third World Quarterly.
